I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit with Nautilus 2.32.2.1, and I've been experiencing random Nautilus crashes for several months.
Nautilus crashes every time I try to open it, this started happening immediately after I installed a complete list of packages I exported from another computer running same version and arch (64-bit).
In case it's useful I exported rpm list of all installed packages and installed them with yum on the second computer.
I have encountered a strange theme problem since I updated to 12.04 some days ago: Nautilus needs some extra treatment after every login in order to obey the theme. It concerns every user. After every login the theme in nautilus (and only in nautilus, no other program is concerned) is set to orange-grey standard theme.
In my setup I tend to symlink major user folders in Linux to their Windows equivalents, IE Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Videos, etc. Usually I make sure nautilus isn't running before I do it and the default list of folders under "Computer" stays the same
However my last change I forgot to do this and now the 4 folders above are filed under Bookmarks.
As I pointed out in my question nautilus theme problem in 12.04 I have to type 4 commands after every logon as workaround for a theming problem.
The latest changes in Nautilus file manager are causing lots of controversy.
As many features like extra pane, tree view etc. have been removed in Nautilus 3.5.90, Linux Mint and SolusOS have already forked Nautilus 3.4.2 as Nemo and Athena File Manager.
Now Ubuntu 12.10 has also reverted back to Nautilus 3.4.2, just couple of days after the new Nautilus 3.5.90 landed in Quantal.
I used to be the guy who liked fedora for gnome 3, until gnome 3.4.
Gnome 3.6 has cut down a lot of features from the previous versions of gnome3.
I don't know why.
1. The nautilus 3.6 has been chopped of its arms and legs. They made it totally useless. They moved the things in nautilus for no big valid reason. Just see how many features have been removed from nautilus.
I'm using xmonad, and I would like to open a nautilus window to a certain directory, because I like the convenience of browsing inside an encrypted zip file without unzipping it, which nautilus allows.
This morning the Ubuntu Update Manager upgraded nautilus to 3.6.1
srirangan@pangolin76:~$ nautilus --version
GNOME nautilus 3.6.1
after which it has stopped working
srirangan@pangolin76:~$ nautilus
